re: #460 Dom

He is worried that ‘private’ colleges will bar religious groups from campus to meet the provisions of the article and be eligible for the funding. The article does not say that though.

Used for sectarian instruction, religious worship, or a school or department of divinity.

It does not specify the provisions for funding of multipurpose building repair, construction, or renovation. This means literally what it says. Use for specifically those purposes, and no funding.

The clause that does apply to multipurpose building repair, construction or renovation that immediately follows states…

Or in which a substantial portion of the functions of the facilities are subsumed in a religious mission.

So anything that isn’t used solely, or substantially for religious purposes can receive funding. The article has to be taken as a whole.
